Your privacy is not a feature; it is our foundation. Learn about our industry-leading zero-upload architecture and data security protocols.
At Image Cub, we have built our entire platform upon a "privacy-by-design" philosophy that fundamentally redefines how online tools handle user data. The most critical aspect of our service is that we do not store, monitor, or even see the contents of the files you process using our suite of tools. Every single image you convert, compress, or edit remains strictly within your device's random access memory (RAM) and never travels to our servers or any third-party cloud infrastructure. This zero-retention policy is a hard-coded technical reality of our architecture, not just a verbal promise, providing a level of security that is impossible with traditional cloud-based competitors. Because no data is transmitted, there is no risk of your private photos being intercepted, leaked in a data breach, or harvested for algorithmic training. We believe that your digital assets belong solely to you, and we provide the interface for you to manage them without sacrificing your right to total anonymity. Once you close your browser tab or refresh the page, any temporary data used for the processing is automatically and permanently purged from your device's memory. This commitment to transparency and user sovereignty is what makes Image Cub the trusted choice for corporate, medical, and personal media management in the modern digital age. We are proud to lead the industry in ethical data practices through our innovative local-first approach.
Due to our unique client-side processing model, Image Cub is specifically engineered to function without collecting personally identifiable information (PII) from our users. We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or link your social media profiles to access any of our professional-grade features. We do not track the content of the images you process, the filenames of your creative assets, or the metadata contained within your photographs. Unlike many other "free" services that act as data traps, we have no interest in your digital history or the nature of the projects you are working on. Our server logs only record basic anonymous technical data, such as your IP address and user agent string, which are used solely for website security and to prevent malicious attacks on our infrastructure. This anonymous data is never linked to the work you perform in our local tools and is systematically deleted on a regular basis to ensure minimum data footprint. We have intentionally built a platform where you can be a professional creator without becoming a data point for a corporate database. By choosing Image Cub, you are opting out of the traditional data-mining economy and choosing a tool that respects your boundaries and your work. We are committed to maintaining this high standard of digital hygiene for as long as our platform exists.
To keep Image Cub free for the global community, we utilize non-intrusive advertisements provided by third-party partners like Google AdSense. These partners may use cookies—small text files stored on your device—to serve relevant ads based on your previous visits to our site and other websites on the internet. These cookies do not have access to the images you process in our local tools, nor do they collect any information about your creative workflow within the secure sandbox of our application. You have the full right to manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or by visiting the opt-out pages of our advertising partners. We also use basic analytical tools to understand how users navigate our site, helping us improve the user experience and optimize our layout for better accessibility. All analytical data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning we only see broad trends rather than individual user behavior or identity. We select our third-party partners carefully, ensuring that they adhere to high standards of digital ethics and data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Our goal is to balance the economic sustainability of our free service with an uncompromising respect for your digital privacy and user experience. We believe in providing a transparent environment where you know exactly how the site functions and how your privacy is being protected at every turn.
Our architecture is your strongest privacy guarantee. Unlike services that collect your data and then grant you rights to access or delete it, Image Cub's local-first design automatically fulfills core data rights by default:
For the minimal technical data we do collect (anonymous server logs), retention is automatically limited to 30 days, after which it is permanently purged. This automated, design-level compliance is our commitment to your sovereignty.
We have built a platform where legal compliance is engineered into every line of code, not managed through bureaucratic requests. Our "zero-knowledge" architecture means we cannot help you with data-related inquiries—because we never had your data to begin with.
This document serves as our complete and transparent disclosure. By using Image Cub, you acknowledge that our technical model, as described herein, constitutes the entirety of our data practices and fulfills our obligations under privacy regulations worldwide.
This policy is effective as of the date listed above. Any future changes will be reflected directly on this page.
